Caltech made a free website of the classic textbooks "The Feynman Lectures on Physics" 2. dev in Singapore writes script to put it on his Kindle, puts script (not the content) on Github 3. DMCA fireworks ensue http://go-to-hellman.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-dmca-takedown-of-feynman-lectures.html I think there are interesting questions here for liblicense relating to the sort of business models that are good or bad practice for open access resources.
